A good response is defined as one that is efficient, effective and creative. No two incidents ever look alike. This means that the responder needs be sufficiently calm to be able to assess the damage, decide on a course of action, carry out the action and evaluate the results.

How such response be achieved without proper drills or trainings?

A drill is an exercise in which people simulate the circumstances of a disaster so that they have an opportunity to practice their responses.

Disasters are unpredictable by nature, and this can make them difficult when it comes to preparation.
If people do not practice their responses, they will usually not be prepared when disaster does happen; while a disaster drill may not anticipate every potential scenario, it gives people an idea of how to behave during a disaster.
